Exactly. In my age range (25-44) I'm more likely to die by heart disease (9.8%), cancer (10%), suicide (11%, most by firearm), and unintentional injury (34.2%)

Exactly. In my age range (25-44) I'm more likely to die by heart disease (9.8%), cancer (10%), suicide (11%, most by firearm), and unintentional injury (34.2%) (plus "other" at 20%). Homicide is the cause of 6.2% of deaths in my age range and in the highest percentage of the population (10-24) it's still outpaced by suicide and unintentional injury. After age 45 homicide isn't even in the top 10. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr70/nvsr70-09-508.pdf https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr70/nvsr70-09-508.pdf
